When I worked at the Smithsonian, I used to love visiting her folk paintings. And, I remember her show years ago at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. <br />Cheers,<br />LoiWoodside Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981644571968878448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-23225193956307236962012-07-09T17:03:53.255-04:002012-07-09T17:03:53.255-04:00It's because of my Grandmother that I'm in...It's because of my Grandmother that I'm in textiles today.

Grandmother Zaza was so kind, an incredible horsewoman and loved all creatures great an small. She inspires me to always put kindness first and to have a sense of adventure. <br />Hope you had a lovely 4th Patricia and that summer is rolling along beautifully for you!

Both were and are amazing role models for me. Irene never married but made her way in the business world after the War where women were barely seen aside from secretaries. She had an amazing career with the government; she was one of the first employees of the new EPA at the time. She lives in an assisted living home now and is very active. She doesn't paint but plays bridge, poker, bingo, exercises daily, reads several newspapers and devours books. You can't believe her mind. I took her to see Woody Allen's latest movie yesterday and last summer we saw The Tree of LIfe. She loved them both and I love her.Marylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884006931136087900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-78305695111240216392012-07-09T09:02:33.231-04:002012-07-09T09:02:33.231-04:00My grandmother is a strong woman and I always love...My grandmother is a strong woman and I always loved this about her. <br />She told me to stay strong myself, work hard and be independent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17012026442883795729noreply@blogger.com
